Jeff Denning @jeffdenning.com · 24/02/2025The next part of the paper uses sharp discontinuities in the Cal Grant to study how the price of college affects families. We see very little effect on students. But, we see that parents reduce educational loans and HELOCs. 110
Jeff Denning @jeffdenning.com · 24/02/2025Overall indebtedness doesn't increase, but parents shift debt from auto loans and credit cards to student loans. We find that parents also see increases in credit scores. We also see for lower income parents a reduction in overall delinquency and bankruptcy. 100
Jeff Denning @jeffdenning.com · 24/02/2025How are parents affected by their kid going to college? How are they affected when their kid gets a scholarship or grant? New working paper with @palaashbhargava.bsky.social @econsandy.bsky.social @odedgurantz.bsky.social and Rob Fairlie www.nber.org/papers/w33497 12313

Jeff Denning @jeffdenning.com · 18/06/2023Fishing pictures will probably slow down as we move to Indiana but I've got a few saved up... 020
Jeff Denning @jeffdenning.com · 12/06/2023Prices increased almost dollar for dollar with new Grad Plus loans. We also show that grants increased by about 1/3 as much as prices, so net price grew by 64% 100
Jeff Denning @jeffdenning.com · 12/06/2023Next, we see how this affected students using a strategy very similar to our paper on undergrads. We do find that it increased borrowing overall (~3500) for constrained students and decreased borrowing from private/state sources. We don't find any increase in graduation. 100
Jeff Denning @jeffdenning.com · 12/06/2023Using Texas administrative data, we compare programs that were more and less expensive before and after Grad PLUS and found that students did not increase their enrollment in expensive programs. It also did not increase enrollment among under represented students 100
Jeff Denning @jeffdenning.com · 12/06/2023New Working Paper "PLUS or Minus? The Effect of Graduate School Loans on Access, Attainment, and Prices" with Sandy Black and Lesley Turner What happened when student loan limits for graduate school were uncapped? Enrollment/graduation didn't ⬆️ but prices ⬆️ www.nber.org/papers/w31291 101
